Help with Specialized shoe size

[rij73]

Hey there... Can any of you ladies who wear Specialized please post your regular US women's shoe size and the size you wear in bike shoes?

I'm having a heck of a time finding women's Specialized shoes in Brooklyn to try on. I'd really like to avoid going into Manhattan...

Hi,

I generally wear a 5.5 or a 6. I bought some Specialized Road Shoes, Size 36, and they fit great. However, in the Specialized Mountain Bike Shoes, I needed a Size 37.

Hope this helps. I wouldn't want to have to go into Manhattan either.

I wear shoes sized 8.5 to 9 (usually 9) and I wear size 40 in both road and mountain Specialized shoes.

I wear a women's 6.5 wide. Both of my specialized shoes (road and mountain) are both 37's...BUT, both of mine are also men's shoes. The women's are too narrow for me.

I also wear 8.5 to 9 and wear a size 40 in Specialized. I find that they are wide enough for my feet whereas Nikes don't fit at all.

My Specialized Torch shoes are true to size - size 40 which is about what I wear in other brands. The shoes offer two positions for the ratchet assembly, which makes them a good fit with my low instep.

Thanks ladies... Sounds like their fit chart is just about right, then! I seem to be a 40 in Shimano, but in US sizes I am always an 8. According to Specialized, an 8 is more like a 39. If you ladies who wear 8.5-9 are wearing the 40, it does sound like I should be a 39.

I am a US women's 9.5/10 and wear a Specialized 42. I bet I could get away with a 41.5 or 41, but I like the looser fit. I second the post about them being wider than Nike.

I am between an 8-8.5 Us shoe, in both my Shimano and Specialized shoes, I wear a 40.

Size 10+ and wear Specialized 43.

OK, gang, thanks! After much deliberation, I ordered a 40. Their chart may say 39, but I'm 40 in everything else, and one of my foot problems is a neuroma, so I really can't risk being scrunched up. At least one of you wears an 8 and a 40 in Specialized. It's gonna take a week to get my shoes. We'll see how they work. I couldn't even get a shop in Manhattan to get them in for me this week. Why is this so difficult???

Seriously, thanks to all who replied!

I had a size 42 shoe and went with 43 because my feet swell on long rides. I'll bet you will appreciate the larger size too.

I bought the white Specialized womens road shoes with three straps which are very comfortable however I have been using spd pedals with Sidi MBT shoes for a long time and changed to Look Keos and road bike shoes and I hope I get used to them in the near future. Watch out if you see me on the road till then. Lol

Those are the same ones I just bought! Hope you get used to the Keos... I use Speedplay Light Action pedals. They are really great for riding, but walking around is impossible. The cleats are huge!
